Do you still MFC with ODBC?
-
(1) What would be the today’s technology for small desktop database applications? I still use MFC and ODBC with static linking and dbf files for data storage.:-O By the way: it’s fantastic what you can make with the new DataSet and the WriteXml() and ReadXml() methods, but I can't afford to rely on the .NET Framework. A nice standalone MFC CDataSet with Read\WriteXml() methods would be the perfect solution, but (2) does such I nice thing exist? :~ (or could someone here write an article about such a goodie? :rose: ) _____________ stefan bornuz

I'll only give you my answer to question #1... I would choose an Access (mdb) or MSDE database and access it using the ATL OLEDB consumer templates. Very fast and pretty easy to use. "You can stand all night at a redlight anywhere in town, hailing Marys left and right but none of them slow down. I've seen the best of men go past. I don't wanna be the last..."

...using the ATL OLEDB consumer templates. Does this mean that I'll have to manage versions of mdac_typ on client's machine? To avoid this, I didn't switch to ADO.... Anyway, thanks for answering to question #1! I hope there will be other answers too! I'm curious what's considered to by the right way in this field. cheers, _____________ stefan bornuz
